Beach clubs in Platja de Migjorn
Formentera's longest beach has two proper beach clubs, one boutique and bohemian, the other a sunset-facing Italian spot.
Platja de Migjorn stretches over 4 km along Formentera's southern coast, making it the island's longest beach. Two beach clubs in Platja de Migjorn sit along this strip, each with a different feel.
Ratings range from 3.9 to 4.4 stars across more than 760 Google reviews. Prices go from moderate (€€) at the boutique end to premium (€€€) at the sunset lounge. Both clubs operate seasonally, typically open from April or May through October.
Formentera is a short ferry ride from Ibiza, and many visitors combine both islands. But Migjorn's beach clubs have a quieter, more laid-back character than anything on the party island. If you're exploring the wider Balearic Islands, the beach club scene here is worth a stop. Formentera's official tourism portal has ferry schedules and island maps.

Organic dishes, vegan options, and a proper cocktail list round out the offering. The club also runs yoga sessions and spa treatments for hotel guests.
